Dwight Howard was just taking a walk fresh out of rehab for the day in L.A. when a TMZ reporter caught him on the street.

Howard was kind enough to speak about his rehab and to address some of the more vicious rumors regarding his dedication to the Orlando Magic.

He said he has spoken to Stan Van Gundy regularly and he does wish he could be with the team during their playoff run. (If you can call it that)

Howard is on a mission to repair his tarnished image after the tumultuous “Dwightmare” he and the Magic endured this season. Howard even added the “All we got is us” Magic rallying cry at the end of the interview.

He has made some mistakes this season.

OK he has made A LOT of mistakes this season but he cares about the guys on his team and that should count for something.

His teammates have already forgiven him. Look for Howard to be back in the good graces of the fans and media next season.
